RELATED: 2017 NBA All-Star game host announced
Los Angeles is quite used to seeing celebrities and star everywhere so it should come as no surprise that the city gets to host yet another All-Star Game. This one is coming in 2018 to the Staples Center and it will mark the sixth time that Los Angeles has hosted the All-Star Game, the most for any city. New York has hosted it five times, and Boston and Philadelphia have each hosted it four times.
The Staples Center has hosted two other All-Star Games in 2005 and 2011 with the other three having been held at the Forum in Inglewood and the Los Angeles Sports Arena.
Of the five All Star Games held in Los Angeles, the Western Conference All-Stars have won three times, and in those three victories a Lakers player was named MVP: Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and Jerry West.
